Often used: PINGing the own machine:
... for a delay of 10 seconds (one more pings than seconds).

As I wrote: "one more pings than seconds".
number of pings = number of seconds + 1
Code: Select all
@echo off &setlocal
set /p "x=Enter the number of seconds: "
set /a x+=1
echo delay start %time%
ping -n %x% localhost>nul
echo delay end %time%
pause>nul
It takes approx. 200ms to call ping.exe, thats why the delay is a little longer.
